Spin Spin City Again 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Just you wait and see?What an awful day in NCFC history. I''m sorry but David Bell is a quality footballer who has been playing in the wrong position by our idiotic ex manager!!! This club just gets worse with the lies! "We do not need to sell" - Those words are going to come back and haunt us!Obviously we need 1 or 2 strikers and a CB, but where from with no money?Perhaps I will be proved wrong, by Monday''s deadline, but I doubt it.NCFC - The truth is out there! But we will never be told as long as the Smith regime is in charge!OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheffield uni Canary 0 Posted January 30, 2009 The reason we sold Bell was because he was unhappy and wanted to leave for personal reasons, you can''t keep unhappy players at the club, especially in the position we are in now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spin Spin City Again 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Well If thats true fair enough! It can only indicate one thing to me Lee Croft is going nowhere, and Mr Bell knew that and didn''t want to stay on the bench. His second position had just been filled also by our new Aussie recruit.Now i''m not an expert on Coventry City, but who is playing on the right hand side for them? Or was it Jay Tabb?Well let''s just hope we can get the players in then?No news is good news! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then again I''m sure that some people will still complain. They won''t be happy until we are in a position like Man City - in the PL with Billionaire owners...

He has not stated he "will be back" at Sheff Utd, that was a typically over-inflated headline which was misingenuous to say the least. If you read that article, it does not quote him as saying i will be back at all - it actually quotes him as saying: "I still believe I can do a job for Sheffield United.
